Classified as a historic monument and containing some architectural treasures, Notre Dame de la Clarté is not to be missed. Dating from the fifteenth century and finished in the eighteenth century, legend has it that it was built by the Sieur de Barac'h after his ship had been saved from going down by the Virgin. Built from pink granite, in the Breton Flamboyant Gothic style, it houses a set of impressive polychrome wooden statues and a carved font. You can also see remarkable Stations of the Cross. A few metres from the chapel, continue your walk to the knoll which offers an outstanding panoramic view.
